"ALEXA, when's it going to end?"

Face masks, hand sanitiser, Zoom meetings, daily Amazon deliveries, social distancing - a way of life that we have become all too used to after the country was locked down on 23 March 2020.

We adjusted to the new normal. We muted, waited for the next slide and followed the science. We marvelled at Jonathan Van-Tam's suits and metaphors in equal measure and hung on to Professor Chris Whitty's every word.

In 'Alexa, when's it going to end?' David Mitchell describes how the pandemic has affected him and the people in his life. His diary, based on his non award-winning blog 'Ramblings from Retirement', covers a twelve-month period unique in modern times, a significant part of which was spent working out how to stop his glasses from misting up when wearing a face mask.
